A double dose of Sabrina

We have a nice surprise coming up for you at the end of the week, but in the meantime you can read two of our latest DVD reviews. I took a look at the recent release of Filmation’s Sabrina The Teenage Witch show from the early 1970s. The Archie spin-off contains much of the charm […]

Sabrina, The Animated Series: Witch In Training

This spin-off of the live action sitcom is fairly mediocre, but is a decent show for kids, with good moral messages.

Sabrina, The Teenage Witch: The Complete Animated Series

The good little witch of Riverdale tries to help Archie and the gang with her magic, but things often backfire.

Bee Movie: A Very Jerry 2-Disc Edition

Jerry Seinfeld’s DreamWorks collaboration is a fun and delightfully old-fashioned concoction, with the DVD packing in a mixture of top-notch bonuses and weaker material.

Another walk in the Park…

The South Park: Imaginationland trilogy is reviewed, plus our Tom & Jerry Tales 4 winner announced!

South Park: Imaginationland

South Park returns in a three-episode special that attempts a larger than usual storyline, but can’t compare to the epic brilliance of Bigger, Longer And Uncut.

Ollie Johnston…RIP

Ollie Johnston, legendary Disney animator, has passed away aged 95.

Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, Tom, and Jerry!

Rand’s take on Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm, plus our Tom & Jerry winner is forthcoming.

The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show: The Complete Series

Hey Seuss! Horton hears our Views! Plus the new League…

Our views on Horton Hears A Who! new and old, plus Justice League: The New Frontier!

Horton Hears A Who!: Deluxe Edition

For Horton fans, this is a worthy re-issue, while Seuss fans will be in their element with the feature-length documentary feature In Search Of Dr Seuss!

Horton Hears a Who!

While not faithful 100 percent, Horton Hears a Who! is close enough to Seuss’ original to be a perfectly fun film.
